Testing the technological feasibility of FLUMOV as gasifier

A reactor based on a combination of FLUidized and MOVing beds (FLUMOV) is tested to explore its feasibility for the gasification of biomass. The fines are removed from the outlet gas by means of the moving zone. For temperature around 825 °C and ER around 0.2 the results are: gasification efficiency, 43%; LHV, 5.5 MJ/nm3; flue gas with 12% H2 and 18% CO.
